Sweet little Jesus boy they didn't know who you were
Sweet little Jesus boy they made you to be born in a manger
Sweet little holy child we didn't know who you were

We didn't know you come to save our souls and take our sins away
Our hearts were blind we could not see we didn't know it was you
A long time ago Lord when you were born
Born in a manger Lord my sweet little Jesus born
The world they treat you mean Lord they treart me mean too
But that's how things are down here Lord we didn't know it was you
Sweet little Jesus boy they made you to be born in a manger
Sweet little holy child Lord we didn't know it was you
